Botting is not a Problem

Did you watch the video to the end? No you did not

Nothing to see here folks GEEEZ. at this point blizz is in cahoots with the bots thats how its looking

If Blizz banned GDKPs there would be less bots

If they would just have some people available to manually review bot reports, then IP block valid reports after analysis, I’m sure the number of bot accounts would reduce

But if Blizz is intentionally allowing bots because of the revenue they bring, what can be done?

If I wanted to watch YouTube, then I would be on YouTube.

I watched enough of the video to see an astronomical amount of DK bots 
 which clearly contradicts the title of the thread.

I don’t care about what’s at the end of a video in someone trying to be clever with a dumb comment.

Maybe in the body of the original post preface it with “watch till the end” or “wait for the quote” 
 something which gives context.

This thread is why flamebaiting is against TOS.

It’s like hockey. People get worked up by pests and the goons fight. Then the refs step in and it’s five for fighting.

I enjoy reporting people who get triggered and then see if blizzard does anything. Sometimes I use a few different accounts—and dozens of toons on them. It is interesting to me l, but the whole thing must seem redundant to the mods.

LULz :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I think it’ll take a community effort to stop bots; stop buying gold, KOS all bots, MC them into a corner, and interfere with their programing. Killing that vendor impacted them enough to force them to mail all items to another character on the realm which should leave enough of a paper trail for Blizzard to track and do something about.

They don’t care. You can literally determine the outcome of a battleground when you zone in by the number of obvious DK bots your team has versus the other side. Bots are actually ruining a part of the game and they don’t care.

Hopefully when Wrath ends and hardly anyone from Classic goes to retail to reward this garbage corporation there will finally be consequences.

Not gonna lie, I’ve been mostly content with the state of Wrath so far, so I haven’t considered unsubbing. But when I stepped into WSG this weekend on my Hunter and saw what’s been going on with these bots and how utterly unplayable it is, this is the first time I’ve stopped to strongly consider if I want to stay subbed.

Banning GDKP’s would probably eliminate much of the need for bots by the end of the phase. But it’s pretty obvious they dont care about the spirit of the game so thats not happening.

This post deserves more credit. I recall endless mages of ZF, the rogues of BRD, the bots of Botanica and now it’s the DKs of PVP. Honestly, there is really nothing new here. The solution is simple; incentivize players to buy less gold. This will never happen.

With love and popcorn.

Its because of GDKP. GDKP creates a marked for botters.

We went back a couple days later to try and slow them down again, unsuccessfully. Botting may in fact be a problem? Can blizzard respond to this, it is seriously out of control. These bots are running 24/7 adding unknown amounts of free gold into the world economy!

This is so hilariously out of control.

Got a good laugh.

This is absolutely hilarious. I wish I could have been there with you guys.

I had to share your video in one of my threads on GD

This thread is a perfect example. Hope you don’t mind let me know.

Guys,

Best thing you can do is to report the bots properly. Simply right clicking and pushing report with no actual text isn’t enough.

Write up something. Location and your observation and your reasoning to identify that character as a bot.

I don’t PVP much, but in open world I reported 5 people in the past few months. And on 4 of em I got a response from blizzard that an action was taken.

This is the best we can do to help.
